BISSELL HydroWave | Powerful Carpet Cleaner With Compact Foot Print And Retractable Handle | Carpets Dry In About 30 Minutes | 2571E, Mambo Red

I am thrilled by just how good this carpet washer is. We have thick cream carpets throughout the house, and until we bought this we had not had them professionally cleaned for about three years. They were certainly beginning to show the need for a clean.This carpet cleaner was about half the price of one professional clean, and to my mind has done a better job. The carpets look as good as new again and all with really little exertion. The cleaning fluid goes in a clear container - about 80% water to about 20% cleaning solution.- which is very easy to lift from the cleaner, fill, and put back again. Then you pull the cleaner back and forward across the carpet with less effort that you need when vacuuming.The difficult spots on the carpet need a little spray of cleaning solution which is super easily administered by pressing a button on the controls part of the handle. The dirty water from the cleaning - and we were amazed by how much dirt it was taking out of the carpets - goes into a separate container which is very easy taken off the cleaner, emptied out, and put back again, ready for the next cleaning sessionThe cleaner has two programme strengths - easily controlled by buttons on the handle. We have been using the more intense one because it had been too long since we had our carpets cleaned, but the less intense one, which uses less cleaning fluid will do fine from now on, as we can clean the carpets as often we like. It worked well in rooms that aren't used much.This is an incredibly easy thing to use. It is very light , so easy to take up and down stairs and to manoeuvre around . Carpets are dry again in just a few hours after cleaning and the the cleaning fluid and water is so easy to add and then pour way when dirtyI am amazed by how effective this Bissell carpet cleaner is - dirty carpets are clean again, and all so easy to do. It is actually quite fun to use as you can see the carpets getting cleaner as you use it.

This product works very well , easy to use , easy to fill in with water and to empty and clean , extremely easy I would say . The carpet now look very very clean and the color is bright again , the dirty water looked literally black . It works perfectly well on stairs as it is a small machine that fits easily on the stair steps , though I must admit I’ve used this in Italy where home stairs steps are not as small as in UK, so larger than the cleaner , and as it is light and easy to manoeuvre and move up the steps . it It is indeed a shame you need to carry on replacing water as the tank fits only 1.5 litres. To avoid walking to the bathroom to through dirty water away I’ve carried with me a bucket where I emptied the dirty water , though for the clean water you do need to get hot water so is unlikely you will have it available nearby . It comes with a 750ml bottle of Wash and Protect Pro Stain & Odour.

Reason for purchase seemed a good compromise; carpet / hard floor cleaner including ease of maintainance. It also gave us something to do during lockdown.After extensive online research the problem with most inexpensive home use cleaners was the time and difficulty of cleaning the machine after use.We have a mixture of about 50% carpet to Tiled flooring, total area about 130 m².Usage: This cleaner works well on both carpet and tiles.Carpets: areas of about 2 m² worked better than trying larger ones. Cleaning Fluid tank emptied per area of about 10 to 15 m². Dirty water Tank was emptied and the suction plate was cleaned frequently when "fluff" and foam streaks were observed being left behind.Tiles: the whole area (assuming <20 m²) can be cleaned in one pass without needing to empty either Tank. Minimal hand drying i.e. Mop, is needed.Note: Manufacturers reccomendation, more cleaning fluid is required for Tiled floors in comparison to Carpeted ones., but total amount per square area is much less.Carpet: Obviously the time taken, when compared to a proffessional doing the job, is this one takes about 5 times longer to achieve a similar result. How we measure cleanliness as an amateur is not objective but subjective. This said the carpets looked brighter, the pile softer so subjectively "cleaner". The colour of the dirty water was disgustingly brownDrying: we selected cold dry (5 to 8°C with <70% relative humidity) winter days with the heating on 18°C and windows partially open.Dependant upon the type of material and structure it took about 3 hrs to be no longer wet with 9hrs to no discernable moisture left.Tiled floor: On tiled floors the vacuum effect left the floor almost dry immediately with very little steaks, much better than "Mop and Bucket" and considerably quickerLikes:Simple removal and replacement of water containersEasy to useEasy after use cleaning, rinsing under running water was quick and effeicient with the tool providedUseful Storage Tray which allows drying of dissemled components.No dislikesI would recomend this product to anyone for small areas or those with patience and endurance for larger areas.

Absolutely love this little cracker. I have persevered with another well known make that is really difficult to clean the brushes on. It got to the point that even though it was under warranty when it went wrong I just couldn't face sending it off for repair because the brushes were so filthy and clogged. This super little machine is so easy to take apart and put back together again after cleaning. Love the drip tray where you can store everything. The dirt that it has got out of the carpets is embarrassing to be honest. If you have a big room and you want to do a deep clean you will need to keep refilling but then that's what makes it so light. You have an express clean and deep clean option which you can swap between at the touch of a button. There is a light to really show up the dirt and an incredibly easy extra squirt option. All buttons are easily accessible on the handle. I have one complaint about it and that is that the power lead is far too short and has resulted in having to use an extension lead which is a complete faff. However, I would not hesitate to recommend this machine and I now wouldn't consider using a different make.
